This member of the Geraniaceae family was first given this name by Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle in 1789. It is found in the southern part of Africa, growing in a well drained soil with some water and lots of sun. It will raise up to 120 centimetres from a five centimetre caudex. The flowers are white and pink, and the plant can be reproduced both by cuttings and seeds.
The genera name from Greek; pelargos; 'stork' for the ripening fruits, which resembles the bills of storks. The species name means 'fleshy' for the colour of the flowers. This is a winter-grower. The flowers and Noah Palmer's photo of his big plant. He bought it with the name Pelargonium ferulaceum. My young plant.
